been entrusted to private hands, as it should
have been, the loss would have fallen upon

since he landed in this country was his re-
fusal to participate in the demonstration IN

nominally in his own honor, but really in
that of Mr. George and DR.. McGlynn, and
as reimbursement of the new idea that land
should be confiscated without recompense
to the owners thereof, and also, of the still
newer one that Catholics should sustain and
support priest who ridicules the Pope and

Flour is unchanged and iirm. The Wheat mar
kets for some days past have been irregular, due
mainly to manipulation in futures, especially for
June delivery, which are selling at an advance
but there is strong conservative inducement and
the volume of sales show very little increase as
there is large visible supply and only moderate
foreign demand and the new crop is soon to be of
fered, harvest having already begun in portions Of
Missouri and Kansas we still note, however, a
good home milling demand at outside prices for
strictly prime Whests. Corn, Rye and Oats
firm and steady. Eggs are scarce and wanted st
higher prices. Butter is very dull and heavy.
Other produce is easy, but without quotable
change.

made too much Roadway TO be e1tihguished
The tenant occupying the property saved

was not insured.
On Friday ofl.st week the school house for
the eolorea children in Cobb Neck, caught
hre and was considerably damaged This ere
